Dataminr Brings Agentic AI Into Cybersecurity Workflows

Dataminr, a company long known for turning vast streams of public data into real-time alerts, is stepping further into the cybersecurity arena with a new generation of agentic AI. The company announced that its upgraded Pulse for Cyber Risk API will now embed advanced features like Live Briefs, Intel Agents, and Cyber Anomaly Alerts directly into the tools security teams already use daily.

From Noise to Context

The cybersecurity industry has no shortage of data. The challenge has always been separating the signal from the noise and surfacing what matters fast enough to respond. Dataminr’s latest move integrates its agentic AI capabilities into Splunk SIEM and Splunk SOAR, creating what the company describes as a single-pane-of-glass experience. By layering context and automation on top of raw threat data, Dataminr says it is reducing investigation time and sharpening detection.

Ash D’Souza, Vice President of Partner Ecosystems at Dataminr, framed the update as a turning point. “Our enhanced API represents a fundamental shift in how cybersecurity teams can leverage Agentic AI and vast sources of public data for real-time decision-making, response, and triage,” he said. The strategy is less about replacing existing workflows and more about embedding advanced intelligence inside them.

Expanding the Partner Network

Dataminr is also moving beyond Splunk. A new integration with Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR v2.0 is slated for release by the end of 2025, supporting both on-prem and cloud deployments. Additional partnerships with other major cybersecurity vendors are expected soon.

Tim Hall, Director of Alliances at Blackwood, a technology broker, noted that customers value the ability to gain stronger intelligence without disrupting their day-to-day processes. “On the technology broker side, we at Blackwood are seeing tremendous value in Dataminr’s ability to enhance our customers’ security postures without disrupting their established processes,” he said.

AI vs. AI in the Cyber Arms Race

This update arrives at a time when attackers are increasingly leaning on AI themselves to scale phishing campaigns, probe systems, and automate reconnaissance. Legacy threat intelligence systems, which often feed teams with fragmented alerts, can’t keep pace with the speed of these AI-driven campaigns.

Dataminr is betting its agentic AI can close that gap. Live Briefs aim to provide continuously refreshed summaries of unfolding incidents. Intel Agents anticipate the kinds of questions security teams typically ask and autonomously respond with real-time insights. Cyber Anomaly Alerts mine complex data streams for unusual patterns that could signal the start of a coordinated attack.

The Bigger Picture

While the technology is still in its early stages, the shift toward agentic AI reflects a broader trend across cybersecurity: embedding intelligence into the workflow itself, rather than asking analysts to chase alerts across a patchwork of dashboards. If Dataminr and its partners can prove that this approach consistently accelerates response without adding complexity, the company may find itself redefining how enterprise security teams interact with threat intelligence.
